Rules of the game

Where can I place a word?

You can change letters in your opponent's word - as long as it makes a valid word.

For example here your opponent had made the word BAKE.You change it to CAKE and add a new word CAT.You will score full points for CAT and half points for CAKE.

How does the scoring work?

The scores in Two Words depend on the value of the letter tiles used and the length of the word.Score = the sum of the letter tiles x the length of the word.For example BAKES:The letter tiles = 3+1+4+1+1 = 10.The length of the word is 5.So the total score is 50.

You get an extra 20 points for making a 7 letter word.

You score full points for any new words you make and half points for words you change.
